getimagesize() with ftp-url?

Hi! Can anyone tell me if the getimagesize() function is supposed to work with ftp-url's? The PHP Manual states "URL support was added in PHP 4.0.5", but maby that is supposed to mean http-url's only? The following is an expample of how i would like to be able to use getimagesize(): <?php $size = getimagesize("ftp://user:pass@www.mysite.net/pictures/image.jpg"); echo '<pre>'; print_r($size); echo '</pre>'; ?> This code yields the following errors in my log: [12-Oct-2002 23:32:14] PHP Warning: getimagesize(): php_hostconnect: connect failed in getimagesize.php on line 2 [12-Oct-2002 23:32:14] PHP Warning: getimagesize(...): failed to create stream: FTP server reports 227 Entering Passive Mode (194.236.xxx.xxx in getimagesize.php on line 2 Is this a bug, or is it a missing feature, or maby a documentation issue? I've tried it on a few different ftp-servers, so i don't think that is the problem.. but who knows? Any thoghts would be appreciated. /OnionMan
